Beautiful Browns Bay
Welcome to our quintessential seaside town nestling in an exquisite sandy strip of the Hauraki Gulf. Alongside the beach is the heart of the town – shopping, dining, services and light industry – where over 290 businesses are represented by The Browns Bay Business Association (BBBA), the largest commercial centre in East Coast Bays on Auckland’s North Shore. Where the community is friendly, relaxed, loyal and proud. Where lifestyles evolve with the rise of modern apartments and townhouses. And where small high street businesses owned and managed by locals, adapt with the times while ‘local’, ‘unique’ and ‘independence’ still mean the world to them.
Enjoy a treasure trove of unique retailers and eateries. Home-made ice cream in traditional and fantastical flavours to travel across the city for; a coffee connoisseur’s paradise with over sixty cafés and restaurants. International cuisine and alfresco dining through to takeaways to enjoy on the beachfront. From pre-loved fashion gems and the latest trends to bespoke fine jewellery and beauty therapy. Four-legged friends are more than welcome – they’re pampered. We invite you to experience everything that the locals love. Come to visit and feel like you’re on holiday. LIVE, LAUGH, ENJOY BROWNS BAY.
